Read This First !
Congratulations....
On your choice of a Citizen label printer.
Please take a moment to read this Quick Start Guide which will familiarise yourself with the
printer and its operation. The printer is a sophisticated but easy-to-use label printer featuring
simple media loading and quick connection together with a powerful VuePrint menu
configuration system.
We will guide you through unpacking of the printer from its carton, connection to your
computer system and installation of the media including a quick self-test of the printer to
ensure it is working.
Safety
But if you have not done so already, please carefully read the safety instructions included at
the beginning of this Quick Start Guide and in more detail on the user manual included on
the CD-ROM. Failure to observe the safety precautions could cause serious injury or damage
to both you and your property.
Unpacking Your Printer
a. Carefully unpack your new printer and ensure all the items shown on the adjacent picture
are present in your printer's carton. In some cases, your supplier or Citizen may have
added extra items required for your particular installation such as additional CD-ROM,
cable or manuals. Instructions for each of these items will be included within the individual
packages.
b. If you have any questions, or if you find any of the items are missing, please initially refer
back to your supplier. Otherwise, contact details for Citizen's regional offices are shown
on the back page of this Quick Start Guide.
c. The printer is shipped with adhesive tape in place to hold the top cover closed. Simply
remove the two pieces of tape on either side of the top cover. Then simply open the cover
by lifting up and tipping it backwards.
d. There is another strip of adhesive tape that must be removed which holds the mechanism
closed for shipping. Remove the tape and attached paper by carefully peeling from the
